Is the summer solstice of 2019 the first day of the dog days? Why do we eat dog meat on the summer solstice? What is the saying?
Introduction: The summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms and the arrival of the summer solstice also heralds a change in the weather. So is the summer solstice in 2019 the first day of the dog days? Why do we eat dog meat during the summer solstice? What is the saying? The earthly branch of the fifth month in the lunar calendar is Wu, which represents Yang Fire, so it is also called the Wu month. The fifth month in the lunar calendar is the time when summer insects chirp and midsummer is fragrant. For more information on the do’s and don’ts of the fifth month in the lunar calendar in 2019, please pay attention to Mr. Shui Mo’s website!Is the summer solstice of 2019 the first day of the dog days?No. The summer solstice in 2019 is not the first dog days of summer. The first dog days of summer in 2019 is July 12, while the summer solstice is June 21!The summer solstice is not a sign of the beginning of the dog days, so it is not the first dog days. However, there is a certain relationship between the first dog days of summer and the summer solstice. The third Geng day after the summer solstice is the first dog days. Since the 365 days in a year (366 days in a leap year) are not an integer multiple of 10, a Geng day this year may not be a Geng day next year. That is to say, the date of Gengri is variable and not fixed, so the date of the beginning of the dog days is not exactly the same every year, but the date of the beginning of the dog days is always between July 11 and July 21. Why do we eat dog meat during the summer solstice?Eating dog meat and lychees during the summer solstice is a "patent" of people in the Lingnan area who want to eat it under the name of borrowing.People in the Cantonese-speaking areas of Guangzhou and Qinzhou, Yulin and other areas of Guangxi also like to eat dog meat and lychees during the summer solstice. It is said that dog meat and lychees are not hot when eaten together on the Summer Solstice. There is a saying that "fish is eaten on the Winter Solstice and dog is eaten on the Summer Solstice". Therefore, the custom of eating dog meat and lychees on the Summer Solstice continues to this day. There is a folk saying that goes "On the Summer Solstice, dogs have no way to escape", which means that on the Summer Solstice, many dogs are killed and have no way to escape. According to folk sayings, dog meat is warm in nature, replenishes vital energy, and has a dry and hot nature, so it is only suitable for consumption in autumn and winter. Eating dog meat in summer will cause internal heat, and the external heat plus internal heat is not good for the body. But the Summer Solstice is an exception. Eating dog meat on this day will not cause heatiness or discomfort to the body. Instead, it will be beneficial to the body. It's probably the principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint. Of course, eating dog meat during the summer solstice should be done in moderation and not too much, so as not to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion.
